15 Simple Pleasures
When your are days are consumed managing work, raising a family, or perhaps juggling both, it can be easy to be so focused on “must do” tasks that the simple pleasures of life pass us by….I would often criticize Ginger for spending so much time cleaning the house at the expense of less time doing pleasurable things – she claimed that a clean house (actually meticulous) gave her pleasure – no arguing with that I suppose, different strokes for different folks……and oh how they may change as the years go on……..how about………
– that first cup of coffee in the morning
– the smell of the air on a crisp fall day
– hearing a beautiful song that stays with you…
– Brigham’s vanilla ice cream
– a book you can’t put down
– an unexpected compliment
– a hot shower when you’re exhausted
– dancing in the kitchen
-taking off your BRA at the end of the day! (Ahhhh)
– taking off your shoes at the end of the day (almost as good!)
– collapsing into bed at night, especially with clean sheets
-falling asleep to the sound of crickets
– finally hitting the bathroom when you have held your bladder for hours
– making a baby smile
– hearing your son/daughter say “thanks mom”

There are so many more!!! Please tell me your top three!!!
